IMPROVEMENT IN COMBINED BEDSTADS AND WARDROBES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 124,609, dated March12, 1872.

Speciication describing a Combined Bedstead and Wardrobe, invented byJOHN A. MORGAN, of Bloomfield, in the county otl Davis and State ofIowa.

The invention will iirst be fully described and then clearly pointed outin the claim.

Figure l of drawing is a front elevation of p vthe wardrobe without thebedstead. Fig. 2 is a side elevation with the bedstead drawn out andwith'the Ventilating-doors open.

In the drawing, A represents the wardrobe, and B the bedstead. Thewardrobe A is provided on the inside with the usual hooks or pegs a, andwith the sldin g coat-rack al and ventilatingdoors a2 a2. The bedstead Bis provided with part b, which serves both as the bottom of bedstead andfront of wardrobe. It also has detachable legs b1, which are threaded onend, and screw into the upper portion of piece b. When the bed isvithinthe bureau these feet are unscrewed and the apertures from which theycome covered by but tons b2 b2. The head and front of bedstead B haveslots b3 b3, by which it is enabled to slide horizontally onfriction-roll studs f1.3 a3. b4 b4 are buttons that cover the open endof slots b3, and allow the bedstead to be readily removed. After thebedstead is turned vertically on the friction-rolls it fits snugly intothe wardrobe.

During the day the doors a2 a2 may be left open to air the bed, and mayalso be used to gain access to the greater portion of the pegs at anytime. y

It will thus be perceived that, as an article of furniture for offices,stores, parlors, or sitting-rooms, it possesses many advantages in itscompactness and readiness of adaptation to the two purposes speciiied.

O O represent receptacles with drawers, in which may be kept the key ofthe wardrobe and legs of the bedstead. D is a writing-desk, whosemiddle, D', ts closely between the receptacles O C, and has the usualpigeon-holes and other appurtenances of a desk. E is a a looking-glass.These may be all, or more or less of them may be, fitted by pins or inany other suitable manner upon the wardrobe or upon one another. Thewardrobe and bedstead are, however, complete in themselves, an d may beadvantageously employed without either of them.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, i'sl. rEhe combination of the folding bedsteadB with detachable legs b1, wardrobe A, folding-doors a2 a2, receptaclesG C with drawers, and looking-glass E, all as and for the purpose setforth.

2. In combination with the foregoing, the writing-desk D D D', asspecified.
